Mohawk Bend in Echo Park OneMinute Tasemade

Located in Echo Park, California, Mohawk Bend was once the old Vaudeville theater. The space has a very unique feel when entering and has four dining experiences. We sat in the back area which they call their "Dining Room." The original brick and vaulted ceilings, with the natural light coming in, made for a beautiful and calming dinner. We were told that the kitchen only uses California ingredients, ranging from their brick oven pizzas, seasonal salads, elevated pub food, and delicious desserts.

My friends and I started off with Buffalo-style Cauliflower, which was hands down the most delicious way to

eat a cauliflower. We also ordered the Chorizo stuffed Medjool Dates, wrapped in bacon. How can you go wrong with bacon?

Sandra and I split the PB&J pizza. That's pineapple, bacon, and jalapeño. I know, totally not what you were thinking, but it was good - just a tad spicy b/c of the jalapeño (I'm a wimp). And the boys ordered the Mohawk Burger with arugula, parmesan, crispy pancetta, red onion, pickled chili, roasted pepper, with rosemary-garlic aioli. They looked pretty happy because we didn't hear from the boys for awhile as they scarfed it down.

All in good fun, great vibe wonderful drinks. Go try out Mohawk Bend in Echo Park.
